1 The Betrayal of Jackie and Donnie: A Novel by David J. Swanson What You can t fake your way through reading the Bible. If you don t have a passion for it, if you don t discipline yourself enough to read it, you ll miss out on the good things that God says through his word. In this sketch, Ted has missed out on reading the book and is just pretending to have read it, hoping that no one asks too much of him. He s just there for Blanche, as a way of impressing the girl. Themes: Bible, Wisdom, Knowledge, Fake, Discipline, Quiet Time, Bible Study Who Annette Dirk Babs Stanley Blanche Ted When Wear (Props) Present; A Tuesday evening after dinner Set in a living room: Couch- places for 6 people to sit Coffee table Glass of water Why Psalm 119:11, 105; Joshua 1:8; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 How Time The comedy is in the conviction of the members of the book club who have read the book. The audience members are just as clueless as Ted is about the book. Keep the dialogue conversational and be careful not to be melodramatic or overact. Approximately 6-8 minutes Skit Guys, Inc.

2 Dirk, Babs and Stanley sit in a circle of 7 chairs. It is a few minutes after seven and they await the arrival of the others. Annette enters, hands a glass of water to Babs and sits. (Taking water) Thank you. Annette: Are you sure you don t want anything to drink, Stanley? Oh, I m fine. It s really no trouble at all. We ve got all the tap water you could possibly drink. (Laughs) No, really. I m fine. Annette: It wouldn t take but a second- He said he s fine! He doesn t want any water. What? You two are too much. If he wants water he ll ask for it, won t you, Stanley? (Pause) See? Nothing. Well, goodness, Babs. You don t have to bite our heads off. Annette: She s probably just wound up from the book. I am! You know me so well. I wish the others would get here already. I am simply dying to find out what everyone thought about it. Oh, let me just tell you. This author? Genius. Pure and simple. Is there another book? Please tell me there s another book. Annette: Unfortunately, no. The Betrayal of Jackie and Donnie was this author s first and last book. We must get him to write more! Jackie and Donnie are like family to me. I must read more about them. He s dead, Babs. Stroke, I think. Oy. It s not fair. So unfair. We get one Jackie and Donnie and seventeen of those awful Midnights. Annette: Midnights? Oh, with the teeth and the girls and the moon. It s too much. She means Twilight. Blanche and Ted enter. 2

3 Blanche: Hi everyone. Sorry we re late. Annette: Oh there you are. We were beginning to worry about you. Who was worried? (To Dirk) Were you worried? Terribly. Worried sick. Annette: Blanche, I see you brought your boyfriend again. So good to see you again, Ted. Blanche: Don t say that, you ll embarrass him. We re just friends. Not my boyfriend. Annette: Oh, I m sorry, Ted. (A little nervous) I m not embarrassed. It s fine. You can call me you know, whatever. Come on, let s get to the good stuff. Dirk and Annette agree; "Oh yes, let s" etc. They all sit. I believe we are at Chapter 32. The last chapter. (Tearing up) Thirty-Two! Look at me. I m crying already. Alright all, so when we last left off, Donnie was at the train station and we were sure he wasn t going to make it to San Francisco in time. Blanche: Yes, but as this book so often does, Chapter 32 had a surprise. Annette: Oh, I never saw that coming, I ll tell you what. Me neither! Totally caught me by surprise. I failed to anticipate this turn as well. What about you Ted. Did it surprise you? Chapter 32? Pause. It s obvious to the audience that Ted hasn t read the book. Totally completely surprised. Blanche: (As if bonding with him) Me too! Who would have expected a rocket sled? I didn t even know they had rocket sleds in I don t believe they did. 3

4 Genius. Did I say it? I said it. This author is a genius. So in the next scene, Donnie gets to San Francisco- Annette: -via rocket sled And finally we learn what that ring is for that he s been carrying around all book. I was so relieved. Weren t you relieved? I thought for sure it was magical. I surmised that it had sentimental value. Blanche: I thought some long lost love had given it to him. Annette: Dirk and I thought it might have to do with the land his father left him. With the goat? Annette: Yes of course. (off topic) Oh, I loved that goat. What about you Ted? What d you think the ring was for? Pause. Oh, I guess I didn t know, really. About 2½ pages have been omitted from this script preview. To read the rest of this script and perform it, download the full version at SkitGuys.com! ENDING: Yeah. I couldn t get into it. Blanche: It s the single greatest thing I ve ever read, Ted. It s won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Man Booker Prize, and the Pulitzer Prize. It won an Oscar for its movie adaptation and the movie hasn t even been made yet. Wow. That s. Impressive. Blanche: I guess what I m saying is that if you can t find the time to read this book, what books do you read? 4

5 Um. Gamer manuals. Cheat Sheets. Walkthroughs. And occasionally a Guns & Ammo. Blanche: Goodbye, Ted. Let s go pal. No need. I ll show myself out. (As he exits) a pail of woodchips? The mood in the room is somber. Slow fade to black. 5
